The only pic I have of it is terrible and makes it look like there is some serious wear and tear on it, but in reality, it's 88-90%. If you want to see ugly mil surplus, here you go:

That really just needs to get cleaned up. Stainless, right? I'd do what people here say to do with the 5906's.
Most surplus guns seem to arrive looking like they've been stored in a public ashtray. After cleaning the heck out of them, I've generally been pleased with what I got.
There used to be a distributor, Coles (he's now gone), who would take the worst guns and do a quickie parkerizing on them. I got a FEG HP clone for $200 that way.
